“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” – Wayne Gretzky Steve Sims is a master at making the extraordinary happen... Growing up in East London, Steve began his career as a bricklayer for his family’s construction company, but grew tired of the long hours and low salary. He committed to surrounding himself with people who had more money, and were having more fun, and that’s exactly what he did. As his network expanded, Steve launched luxury concierge company, Bluefish, that made once in a lifetime experiences happen for the rich and famous. He’s organized private dinner parties at museums in Florence with Andrea Boccelli as the guest tenor, sent people down to the wreck of the Titanic, and brought guests on a private tour of SpaceX led by its legendary founder, Elon Musk. As a speaker, Steve has presented to Harvard and the Pentagon. He’s also worked with an eclectic mix of leaders and changemakers, from Elton John and Richard Branson to Donald Trump and Sting. His latest book is Go for Stupid. In this episode: Steve’s origins a bricklayer and bouncer. How he’s been able to make unique – and seemingly impossible – experiences happen.

This time last year was one of the most difficult periods in my entire life... It wasn't just testing positive to covid on the day my wife was due to give birth (true story), it was the overwhelming burden of unrealistic expectations, an infant and toddler with significant sleep and health challenges, and being spread thin with business commitments. I'm on day 550 of a consecutive daily journal and it's quite a gripping read to see what we were faced with at this time last year! But 2023 is a completely different story... I'm physically close to the healthiest I've ever been, I'm clearer on the professional mission than ever before, and I spent an entire week on my personal goal-setting to develop the ultimate plan. Heck, even the kids are sleeping through the night. I'm starting 2023 on offense. But the memories from last year are real, raw, and deep. That's why I wanted to record a podcast to help YOU make this your best year yet ... even if you're starting the year on defense, like I did in 2022. It's also the first ever LIVE recording of the Win the Day podcast [click here for the video episode]!

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act; the rest is merely tenacity.” — Amelia Earhart If you’re a parent, you’ll know how difficult it can be to get healthy food for your children, especially with so much deception in the food industry. But what you may not know is that scientists consider nutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life to be the most important environmental factor in human development. Pregnant with her second child — and unhappy with the food options available for her first baby — Angela and her co-founder, Evelyn Rusli, set out to do something about it. In 2015, they launched Yumi with a mission to build a healthier generation. Today, they’ve raised more than $70 million in funding and their investors include the founders of Uber, Harry’s, and Warby Parker, as well as celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Gabrielle Union. Public fans of Yumi include Jessica Alba, Gigi Hadid, and Molly Sims. Focused on empowering women, Yumi’s Series B funding round also brought in 70 new women investors and women-led firms. In this episode: Balancing kids with career Toughest moments along the way The best lessons from Angela's entrepreneurial journey, and How she built Yumi into the powerhouse it is today.
